Michelin-starred chef Graham Garrett's autobiographical cookbook features recipes inspired by the story of his transformation from stadium-filling rock star to groundbreaking chef.

As the drummer with 80s rock bands Dumb Blondes, Panache and Ya Ya, Graham Garrett was used to rubbing shoulders with the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Freddie Mercury and Talking Heads. As a chef, he's worked for and alongside some of the biggest names in the business, including Nico Ladenis, Richard Corrigan and Gordon Ramsay.

The London-born musician and songwriter has worked in kitchens since the early 90s, running restaurants for renowned chefs such as Nico Ladenis and Richard Corrigan. In 2002 he and his partner Jackie bought The West House restaurant in Kent, which was soon awarded a Michelin star.

But if you were an avid concertgoer back in the day you've probably seen Graham's face before. He spent the 80s in the music business, touring the world on drums for bands like Dumb Blondes, Panache and Ya Ya. At 31, he hung up his drumsticks, walked into a kitchen and hasn't looked back since. Until now.

The book follows Graham's transformation from rock star to Michelin-starred chef and reveals how his love of food started young in 60s East End London and has been heavily inspired by his experiences touring the world as a musician.

You'll find more than 50 recipes, from a simple way to make great butter to Miso-glazed Mackerel with Yuzu Mayonnaise to Catalan Trifle, with influences drawn from American, British, Indian, Japanese, Russian and Thai cuisines - an amalgamation of cultures in the kitchen resulting in a unique collection of dishes.

With a foreword by Richard Corrigan and photography by Adrian Franklin.

After a previous career as a successful rock musician, Graham Garrett's defection to cooking may be music's loss but it is the food world's gain.

He has worked for both Nico Ladenis and Richard Corrigan, as head chef of multiple restaurants. He has cooked for government and royalty, having been fortunate enough to cook at both 10 Downing Street, and also to cater a private dinner for the Her Majesty, the Queen of England.

The Garrett's bought The West House in 2002, to create their own dining room, and allow Graham to pursue his own vision. Graham's food has gained the restaurant multiple awards. They have held a Michelin star since 2004, are featured in Harden's top restaurants list in the UK, and hold 3 AA Rosettes. Graham has been awarded Best Chef in Kent in the Kent Life Awards. The West House is featured in the 2014 book 1001 Restaurants to Experience Before You Die (Cassell) and all other major guidebooks.

Graham's reputation has afforded him many media opportunities, including among them prestigious TV show Great British Menu and Ramsay's Best Restaurant. However he is most likely to be found in his kitchen, creating wonderful food.
